cw for weight/body image, of course

Usually discussions about this get overrun by chuds so I think it'd be nice to hear what people here have to say.

Personally I think it's some good and positive ideas but they're mixed in with potentially harmful medical misinformation.

being fat sucks and people should be better educated about how their diets affect their weight so they can make a more informed choice about whether eating that extra food is worth gaining that extra weight

on the other hand, being shitty to fat people is a huge problem in society in various different ways, so a fat acceptance movement is necessary to solve that problem. im not sure id say it's the fat acceptance movement which we need, though, because the one we have is absolutely full of people saying incredibly dangerous and stupid stuff, like that for a lot of people it's "impossible" to lose weight or anything along those lines, or of course the "healthy at every size" group who spread nonsense about how being overweight actually doesnt suck at all.

i see overweight people the way i see people with any medical condition. like, im not gonna be rude to someone because they have a disease or something, but im absolutely not going to say "actually having diseases is cool and not unhealthy at all"
